The Crusades are number one? And the other guy with Salem Witch Trials as number five? Twenty people were killed. You people need to look up death tolls and history. And the Dark Ages? Look that up, it wasn’t that bad (for one, historians refuse to call them the Dark Ages anymore).
Crusades? 1.5 million over about a dozen crusades; First started 1095, last ended 1272, mostly sporadic.

15.Pol Pot- 3 million deaths, deliberate genocide
